The Old Man

The tears have all been shed now
We've said our last goodbyes
His soul's been blessed
He's laid to rest
And it's now I feel alone

He was more than just my father
My teacher, my best friend
And he'll still be heard
In the songs we shared
When I play them on my own

And I never will forget him
For he made me what I am
Though he may be gone
Memories linger on
And I miss him, the old man

As a child he'd take me walking
By mountain, field and stream
And he'd show me things
Not known to kings
A secret between him and me

Like the colors on a pheasant
As he rises in the dawn
Or how to fish or make a wish
Beside a fairy tree

I thought he'd live forever
He seemed so big and strong
But the minutes fly
And the years roll by
For a father and his little one

And suddenly when it happened
There was so much left unsaid
No second chance
To tell him  thanks
For everything he'd done

And I never will forget him
For he made me what I am
Though he may be gone
Memories linger on
God, I miss him, the old man
